| Additional information |
Wilhelm Gevekoht operated as a merchant in Nuremberg and issued this zinc notgeld token during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the early 1920s, when official coinage had effectively vanished from everyday commerce. Municipal and private issuers across Bavaria filled the gap with their own emergency pieces, and zinc was the material of necessity — cheap, available, and wholly undesirable to hoarders.
The Menzel reference numbers place this among the extensively catalogued private issues of the period, cross-listed across both major Menzel editions as the catalog itself was revised.
